AABP
Education Grants

Formal advanced training in cattle production medicine can help expand
the skills and knowledge base of the cattle production medicine practitioner.
In the spirit of supporting the development of future bovine practitioners,
the AABP offers the Education Grants. The Education Grant program will
provide grants of $1000 that will be available for incoming senior students
and new graduates (those who have graduated in the previous six months).
These grants will be awarded to students attending an accredited veterinary
college advanced education program or another AABP approved continuing
education endeavor.

Applicants must be a member or student member of the AABP. Applicants
may apply for membership at the time they apply for this grant.

For consideration, applications must include:

A completed AABP Education Grant application
form, including a letter of intent outlining the applicant’s
career goals (students) or current job description (recent graduates),
prior experience with food animal production medicine, and goals for
the advanced education program. Education Grant applications must
be made online via the AABP website. Applications can be edited
once submitted up to the deadline date.

A brief
course outline or description from the institution conducting
the course, or a detailed description of the continuing education
opportunity if it is not being conducted at an accredited veterinary
college.

A letter
of recommendation from a faculty member (who is also an AABP member)
of the veterinary school the applicant graduated from or is currently
enrolled in.

Following completion of the advanced training, successful applicants
will be required to submit an evaluation form detailing their experience.

Funds will be distributed directly to the university or program the student
will participate in.

Applications for support of educational opportunities commencing between
May 1, 2016 and April 30, 2017 must be received by April 15, 2016. Due
to the number of applications we anticipate, this is a firm deadline.
Notification will come in early May, 2016.
